Dannii Minogue



In January 1994, Minogue married Australian actor Julian McMahon, the only son of former Australian prime minister Sir William McMahon, whom she met in 1991 while working on the television series Home and Away.[44] Minogue and McMahon were married for less than two years and divorced in 1995. Referring to the divorce, Minogue said that it was her "biggest regret and biggest downfall".[45] In October 1995, she posed nude in the Australian edition of Playboy magazine.[29] Commenting on the reason she posed nude, Minogue said she "just had a marriage break-up. Most women go to the hairdressers - I did Playboy. I chose the photographer, the location, what I did or didn't want to wear and everything else about the pictures. I found it a really liberating, empowering experience."[46] The edition featuring Minogue sold out in under four days and became one of the best-selling editions in Australia.[5]

Minogue became engaged to Canadian Formula One driver Jacques Villeneuve in October 1999, but their relationship ended in 2001.[47] In early 2002, Minogue began dating music producer and Bros bassist Craig Logan, whom she met while recording material for Neon Nights. Media reports in March 2002 claimed Minogue and Logan were engaged,[48] but in December 2002, it was announced that they had ended their relationship.[49]

Media portrayal and other activities

In 1987, Minogue's older sister, Kylie, appeared with her on Young Talent Time before commencing a commercially successful music career. Minogue has often been compared to Kylie and has struggled to find respect from critics and is often portrayed as a "wannabe" by the media. Those fans in Australia are however, keen to point out that Dannii was famous first.[50] Both Minogue and her sister deny a sibling rivalry, but she admits that she finds it "hard to be compared all the time to Kylie."[51]

Internationally regarded as a gay icon, Minogue has performed multiple times at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and the London nightclub G-A-Y, to which she was the first of the Minogue sisters to do so.[52] She credits her gay following for much of her success, commenting that gay culture has "always been a part of [her] music."[51] Minogue openly supports gay rights causes for social equality and believes that same-sex marriages should be accepted by all government bodies.[51]

Minogue is an ambassador for the Terrence Higgins Trust, an organization that works to increase awareness of AIDS. She joined the charity in hope that her endorsement would encourage people to discuss safe sex and the disease more openly.[53] In 2004, she posed nude, wrapped only in a red ribbon, to promote World AIDS Day in Australia and the UK.[53] She has long been a supporter of breast cancer research and, in October 2003, performed in a London comedy show titled Funny Women. The show raised money for breast cancer research, as well as awareness of domestic violence.[54]
